Creative Audigy 4

[James Courtier-Dutton <James@superbug.co.uk>]

For my work with Creative sound cards in Linux, Creative have kindly 
donated a SB Audigy 4 pro sound card to me.
It has an external box and a remote control.
 From what I can see, the outside of the box looks exactly like the SB 
Audigy 2 ZS platinum pro.

My first impressions of the card are that it amazing!
I can turn my external amp up to full volume and still get no hiss!
The sound quality it noticeably better than my other Creative sound cards.

Now to the problems.
The card seems to work quite well, except for the remote control.
Has anyone ever got the Audigy 2 ZS remote control to work?

The only way I can get it to work are:
Boot into Windows 2000.
IR works.
Reboot into Linux
IR stays working.

I would imagine that all I need to do is send some midi commands to it 
to switch it on, but I don't know which commands they are.
There is also a CMSS light on the external device, and I expect that it 
controlled with a midi command as well.

Does anyone have any clues ?

Cheers

James
